Nah, just cheaper to film the good-looking actors once and then use inexpensive lip-synch software to splice in any message you like. Reminds me of the (late 60s? early 70s?) toothpaste ad: Good-looking bloke's back-of-head, in front of sink, scrubbing teeth. 'As a professional dentist, he can't say it on television'. <Actor waves> 'But 9 out of 10 dentists recommend Colgate'. -- Roger Clarke mailto:[email protected] T: +61 2 6288 6916 http://www.xamax.com.au http://www.rogerclarke.com Xamax Consultancy Pty Ltd 78 Sidaway St, Chapman ACT 2611 AUSTRALIA Visiting Professor in the Faculty of Law University of N.S.W.
